A review by tej_reads
Thunderhead by Miranda Darling
3.75
This was my first time reading a stream of consciousness style work and it was a memorable experience.
Darling, writes as Winona a woman whose day we experience with her, through a doctors appointment, the school pick to a party from the moment of her waking. We are privy to Winona's inner workings as she experiences emotional and psychological abuse, alongside raising her children. Darling, addresses issues such as motherhood and the concept of suburbia but also the patriarchy and toxic masculinity.
You don't really know what is going on Winona's mind felt like everything all at once. Constantly, thinking moving in quick succession from thought to thought. In some cases you get a glimpse of a thought never to return again. The only order you experience in the form of lists Winona makes throughout the day but even they overlap, different thoughts and sub-categories together.
